Best Special Needs Schools in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey (2026)

At Allegro School in Cedar Knolls, we educate and support children on the autism spectrum. Our pre-K–12 curriculum follows New Jersey Student Learning Standards and adapts materials and teaching to each student's learning style, strengths and interests. Early learning emphasizes academic knowledge and the skills needed to participate in instruction. As students get older, the focus expands to independence, self-regulation and adult life. High-school students practice independent living and employment skills through pre-vocational activities, job sampling, job shadowing and volunteer experiences.
